CIDER Cur IS also very popular; but
cider varies greatly IN its quality, some
being So sweet as 10 require no sugar,
like the American champagne cider, to
which It seems quite unnecessary to
add anything but a bottle of soda
water to render It perfect. Hard cider,

make ''cup" ~palatable. To do this the
following may be recommended: A
quart of cider, a half poundsof lump
sugar, a tablespoonful Of marmalade;
let it stand aud then strain it of; add a
bottle of soda water and flowers or the
borage-reuowned in the old saw for

housewives may prefer to steer clear OF
even the comparatively small amount
OF alcohol that iscontained in the above
''cups," and for them we will add a few
summer drinks compounded without
this questionable element. Lemonade:
Rub tile rinds OF the lemons with
sugar, put this into a jug with q little
water, then squeeze the lemons very
thoroughly, even pressing the soft pulp,
but carefully excluding the pips. Add
half the quantity Of water you intend d.
to use for the whole iugful, and let the
sugar dissolve thoroughly. just be-
fore serving add one or two bottles OF
aerated lemonade. Apple drink:

boiling water on them. Pour of when

There is always risk of failure in
casting large bells; uncertainty whether
the bell will be sound when cast, and
liability to eventual fracture. The
transportation of such heavy weights
as bells of large dimensions TO their
destination, and the hanging of them
when there, are always matters for
serious consideration. 1t viii be re-
membered what preparations were
made and precautions taken for the
transport of the great bell to st, Paul's
and the difficulty Of its hosting and
hanging; and now, being hung, it would
be dangerous to swing its enormous
weight-some eighteen tons, IL is Of
interest to note, therefore, that in Eng
land bell has been invented which
is claimed to obyiate all these difficult
ties. This bell rs we find it described,
is not east, but made of metal bent or
spun to shape. A bell may be made OF
several pieces soldered together. The
vibrations last twenty-five seconds,
and the overtones or harmonics are
quite perceptib!c. The inventor guarsn-
tees to produce bell weighing one
ton which shall be as musical and eilic-
lent as an ordinary bell of twenty tons.
Various attempts have been made to
use sheet metal bells, but they have all
failed hitherto; and the reason why
the inventor has attained an unprece-
dented success seems to be that he has
hit on peculiar alloy, which appears
to possess some remarkable properties.
IL is well known that ordinary bell
metal is hard and brittle. In the pres
ent case, however, a method has been
discovered by which bell metal is pro-
duced which will be resonant in very
high degree, but admits of being bent.
1t bears, that is to say. about the Same
relation to ordinary bell metal that
malleable cast iron bears TO ordinary
cast iron. Although the inventor, Mr.
Hoffman of London, is confident that
he can produce very large bell in this
way, he has not made any. and 1t re-
mains to be seen how far he will be
successful; but he has done enough
already to excite the interest and claim
the attention of every campanologist

or Imprisonment, but the second is
much better subserved by the former
than by the latter. The consequences
of all human actions are weighed in
the mind, even though it is only by an
instant's reflection, before the deed is
committed. Laws with only slight
penalties attached are broken every
day, while those with heavy penalties
are comparatively seldom infringed.
1.-The natural horror of death that in
vests every mind, and especially Of
death ny such disgraceful and revolt
ing process as hanging, is much more
potent as7a. restraining influence than
the prospect ef a life term in the
penitentiary.
In fact, the state prison has few
terrors for many of the vagabonds and
scoundrels who infest the country.
Life presents hard phase to them any
way, and the penitentiary, promising a
sufiiciency of food clothing and shelter,
is rather inviting than otherwise as
place of abode. The labor they will
have to undergo is no greater than
necessity requires of millions who are
unincarcerated. and there is no danger
of losing their job The murderers of
Mcmillan, a worthy gentleman who
was murdered in cold blood for his
money in this city three years ago, by
a couple of tramps, when they found
the penitentiary was the extent of their
punishment, were in the gayest of
spirits and expressed themselves as
well satisfied with the prospect Last
week a convict who had served term
in the Columbus, Ohio, peDitentiary
and had been released, threw bould-

purpose, as he confessed. of getting
back into prison again A SIMILAR in
stance happened in Tennessee but
short time since, and in fact they are of
frequent occurrence. For such people
the penitentiary is no punishment
Nothing has restraining power upon
them but the fear of being hanged. A
good hempen rope is the best murder
preventive that has ever yet been in
vented, and even it is not always
sufficient. -Emporta Republican.

Furnishing Murderers.

The Lawrence Tribune says: I'VE
believe that Imprisonment for life at
hard labor is more severe punishment
for murder than hanging or any other
method of killing criminal. /"
As matter of fact. perhaps it is and
perhaps it isn't But it is .certa My true
that it is not generally so regarded.
How many convicted murderers would
voluntarily accept the gallows in pre-
ference to imprisonment Not one in
ten thousand.
1t must be remembered that the
prime object of the law is not revenge
upon the criminal; it is, first, to free
society from the danger of his presence,
and, second, to deter others from COM
hitting similar crimes. The first pur-
pose is accomplished by either hanging

hours were numbered. She made a

the new comers, but in vain. Susie

and whispered;

Among her few papers were found
q brief history of her life. The william

never deserted her. and at her entreaty
had taken her to her native land to die.
His death occurred soon after their ar
rival, and little Willie, who bore his
mothers name, was all that was left of
her six children.
Mr.. Evermond caused the body of his
misguided daughter to be buried in a
costly casket, and it rests now beneath
the quiet shades of Greenwood.

A BRILLIANT WEDDING.
A Story for New Years.

Everybody who knew anything
about the Evermonds knew that there
had been trouble and disgrace attend
ing them for many years. W.
First, their oldest daughter, beautiful
Nellie Evermond, became infatuated
with an opera singer and eloped with
him. Following that came the death
of the youngest, and pet child, dear
little Bessie. Then, the only son, hand
some VIII Evermond, was arrested for
embezzlement and, although nothing
could be proved against him, it was
established in many minds that he
was guilty. He could not bear the
contemptuous glances and scornful
words of those who had formerly wei
coined him among them with delight.
So he departed for a foreign land.
There was left only Mr.. Evermond,
his wife, and lovely young girl, of
this once proud family.
Susie Gray had come to live with the
Evermonds when she was an infant.
Her mother had been the only sister of
Mr.. Evermond's first love, and when
she died he took the little girl to his
home and treated her with the same
consideration that his own children en-
joyed. She had been secretly engaged
to VIII Evermond for some time before
his disgrace and departure After he
was accused of embezzlement he had
studously avoided her, and no word of
love had fallen from his lips
Susie had waited patiently for some
allusion to the engagement between
them, and longed to assure Will that
whatever happened she would not
change, but her retiring, sensitive
nature would not allow her to speak
first.
The day of his departure arrived.
He had been out with his father in the
morning, and only came home to lunch
at noon.
After lunch there wanted but one
hour to the time appointed for the
steamer in whica he had taken passage
to sail. His trunks had been sent early
in the day, and there remained but the
farewells to be said ere the unhappy
young man left his native land.
Will Eyermond had nothing of the
towards blood in his veins, but he
shrank from this parting. He loved
Susie with all the strength Of his deep
nature, and he said to his heart, when
his trouble first came upon him: al
love her too well to allow her to share
my disgrace" and so he was going
away.
Mrs. Evermond lay upon the sofa in
fashionable Mysteries. Will knelt be-
side her and touched his lips to her
brow, murmuring God bless and keep
you always, mother, dear" aad STROBE
from the room.
Susie was waiting for him in the hall.
He took her tenderly in his arms and
kissed her with the old-fashioned, low
ing tenderness. "Goodby my poor
little Susiel If ever my name is cleared
from this dreadful stain | will come
back and marry you"
"Oh, Will do not go! care moth
ing for the opinion of the world. Stay
and let me prove to you how true a
woman's heart can bc'
He put her clinging arms from about
his neck, whispered: wait a few years,

THE CHRISTMAS BELLS.

Once more across the leailess land
We hear the clash OF Christmas chimes;
The young and old stand hand In hand,
Aud dream the past in present times
There is n story in the bells
That comes In whispers through the air;
Oflove 10 some their music tells.
They sigh to others OF despairl
Last year we flung the window wide;
Twas such Christmas eve rs this;
We bade the bells 10 greet the bride;
Aud consecrate the brdegroom's kiss.
A little yearl too brief, alas'
To save the ship or still the wave;
Tomorrow morning we shall pass
The flowers on her husbands grave
A year agol you can't forget
The darkness OF last Christmas night,
A little robin cold and wet
Flew dazed and hungry 10 the light.
Our holly wreaths unwithered still.
The glad new year scarcely come,
We heard shout across the hill,
Our long lost brother had come homel
Good will and peacel" in leafy scroll
We saw above the chancel dim,
We heard the mighty organ roll
Its music for the Christmas hymn.
The sermon was OF love, and all
Urrose, Just blest-a Christian fold;
Still fathers kisses never fail
On mothers forehead as of old!
Ring OH. ye Christmas bells, OF peace;
Ring on the love that never dies;
Tho love that lasts through life must cease.
The life of deathless sympathies;
Ring out the only true belief
Across the meadows and tho plain,
The woods once more will smile in leaf;
The summer flowers come again.
This is the music OF the chimes
That crushes hate and kills despair;
The gospel of the good old times
y. Filling with love the very air;
1:Iugh hope lies buried, 1t will rise,
Tlis-sgh sorrow trlumphs, twill depart;
Love w1Srei2ht grief-wasted eyes
And AZ ,I'th Joy the empty heart.

How Men Rise From Poverty

The career of the late August Bren-
tano is worth the careful study of all
young men who are striving to get
ahead in life, and especially of those
who cry out that the hard conditions of
their lot make the struggle for advances
ment hopeless.
| There is not one of them in this
whole city who began life worse handi-
capped for the race than August Bren-
tano was. He came to New York about
generation ago poor emigrant from
Austria. He could not speak oIr Ian
guage, he was total stranger, and be-
sides he was afflicted with bodily de-
formities that would have crushed the
! spirit of a less resolute man, and per-
haps sent him down into the ranks of
the permanently dependent. Nature
had denied him the opportunity of earn
ing his living with his hands, for they
were twisted and greatly deformed, SO
that he was debarred from nearly all
the employments open to his fellows.
The struggle for existence was there
fore. peculiarly hard for him, and the
the reasons for Encouragement were
extraordinarily great, since, doubtless,
like all people so afflicted, his DISPOSE
ton was painfully sensitive, and he felt
that an evil and cruel fate had set him
apart from the run of men.
But Mr.. Brentano's bodily infrml-
ties only made him the more self-reli-
ant and determined to surmount the
obstacles to success. He was ready to
set himself to work at anything which
came in his way and was within his re-
stricted capacities. He would carry
and sell newspapers, and though the
business was humble one, the labor
exhausting, and the rewards small, he
went into it at the first opportunity and
pursued it with tireess zeal
That was about thirty five years ago.
when New York newspapers were al
most wholly distributed by carriers
from mouse 10 mouse.
Such a career ought to afford encour-
agement to every clever and enterpris-
ing young man who is disposed to
grumble because his circumstances are
not what he would have them. Mr..
Brentano, too, was only one among
many who had risen in the same way
and in the same employ ment during
the period covered by his career in this
city. The men who are now at the
head of the great news companies were
generally trained to the business at
little news stands, and they have had
the industry and ability to grow with
the growth OF the present method of
newspaper and periodical distribution.
Nor were their chances greater than
those which are all about us now.
Other employment as humble aid lit
tie profitable as the news business was
when Mr.. Brentano set up his stan CD
Broadway may to-day be made ae be-
ginning of fortunes. .-New Yofk 5aa.
